looking into other Boid species.

Boa constrictor ssp. can not SAFELY be grown fast. This will compromise the animal in the long run. For the FEW female boas that reach 10ft. or more they are usually 5 years old, at the youngest. Most of the "giants" seem to be wild caught.

A few of the people who post here have big boas between 10-13 feet.

The normal size for a LARGE adult female is 8-9 feet, and again this takes years to reach. The typical adult female Colombian boa (what you commonly see) will reach 7ft.
